"A YOUNG MAN named Voolfolk
murdered his father, mother and seven
other members ofthe family at Macon,
Ga, last Saturday, the 9Th inst. IT
appears that be had been a sort of
wayward youth and that having been
set mp in business twice by his father
and failed each time, he desired to be
setu third time. This the father
declined to do, when young Voolfolk
was heard to say he would clean ont
the whole family and become the sole
heir to the estate and that then be
could sethimsolf MP in business. This
assertion, taken in connection with
other facts, led suspicion to him
as the peFpetFator of the wholesale
deed. He was at once arrested and
committed to jail. On Sunday 1000
people attended the fnneralsJof the
dead family, and the sheriff to avoid a
possibility qf q Iynching removed
Woololkto Atlanta for safe keeping.

The 4D,ericdn Bath Sentinel in review
ing the work of Representative Roberts of
Brunswick in the recent session Of the Legis-
lature, says: Mr. Roberts was House chair
man OF the committee on claims. The COM
mittee had before them some fifteen claims
against the State. About one-half of the claims
were allowed by the committee, and all allow
ed passed both Houses with one exception, that
was the resolve appropriating $500 to Sheritfs
Fields and DevereuX for the capture of McFar-
land, one of the alleged murderers Of the game
wardens in Washington county The resolve
caused one of the most exciting debates of the
session. Mr.. Roberts opened the debate by
relating the position of the committee, pre-
senting the facts in the case and the reasons
why the resolve should pass. He was sup
ported by Wiswell of Ellsworth, in a speech
of great force and power, and by Wakefield, of
Bath, in clear and concise argument, but un-
der the lead of Talbot, of Fast Machias, and
Pettengall of Pembroke, the resolve was indie
finitely postponed by yea and nay vote of 50
to 80. In the afternoon of the same day the
House came to its senses and saw that it would
not do to break the plighted faith of the State
of Maine for mere technicalities, and under
suspension of the rules the resolve was
introduced, which passed both House and Sen
ate, by which the whole matter was left with
the Governor and Council directing them to pay
the reward to the persons entitled to it. Under
the resolve and from the wording of the re-
ward offered by Gov. Robie, no one but
Sheriffs Fields and Devereux can get the por-
tion due for the arrest of Mcfarland
